Suthep Thaugsuban, leader of the ongoing anti-government protest, Wednesday threatened to stage a "complete shutdown" of Bangkok on the election day this Sunday.
“On February 2 we will completely shut down Bangkok. Roads will be turned into pedestrian walkways and people do not have to go to vote,” Suthep said before protesters at the Lumpini Park protest site Wednesday evening.
He urged eligible voters to instead join the PDRC at its protest sites throughout Bangkok. “Don’t regret for any loss of political rights” resulting from not going to vote, he said.
